Before this, I served as Manager, Cybersecurity at Nayatel, where I led offensive security initiatives and supervised comprehensive security assessments across corporate, financial, telecom, education, and government sectors.

Beyond my technical work, I am a public speaker, trainer, and content creator, sharing practical cybersecurity knowledge with a community of 9,000+ followers. 💼 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞: I have personally conducted or overseen 85+ penetration tests in the past year, covering Web Apps, Mobile Apps (iOS & Android), APIs, Networks, Cloud Infrastructure, Active Directory, and AI-driven systems.
